What is it with wedding favors recently? Save yourself the time, energy and funds and skip it. No one wants a garbage knick-knack from your wedding. Have you never sat at the table with strangers and then had them all try to force their stinky jar candles on you? I have. Worse yet, have you ever helped clean up afterwords and had to throw all those stinky jar candles away? Yep, I've done that too. Coco mix, candy, mints, seed packets, all of it. No one is going to plant those flower seeds. The only people who want the candy are the kids, so save their parents the headache of saying "no" all night long.

I have no idea what CCP MBD is talking about with Mexican vanilla extract. It is all I will buy (but I would buy some beans if they ever showed up in my bulk foods section). You buy the one, most fragrant bottle, it's typically huge, and you use it over the next few years. No, you can't buy it in the tourist market, you have to go to the real market, where real people buy their groceries. You won't regret it. My vanilla flavored items are always the best.

Does it fit in my car? What if I tie down the hatchback? Does it have any creases, notches, nooks or crannies where dirt and grossness can hide? Can I stand on it or otherwise misuse it? If I drag it across the floor, will it scratch the floor? Lifestyle Choices: What Do You Think About When Picking Furniture? |
